_] Gustav!
DR. BOXER
The boy is coming now, running along.
LANGHEINRICH
That's right. Rauchhaupt! Here's Gustav!
_GUSTAV comes prancing up, highly excited, gesticulating violently.
He points in the direction from which he has come._
EDE
Is that there a war dance you're tryin' to perform? Looks like the
cannibals' goin's on. I believe that brat feeds on human flesh.
LANGHEINRICH
Hurry now an' run to your father.
EDE
Go on now!
LANGHEINRICH
Get along with your horse-radish.
_GUSTAV gesticulating, puts his hollow hand to his mouth and toots in
imitation of a trumpet. Laughter._
EDE
Where's the fire, you little firebrand?
LANGHEINRICH
Ede, catch hold o' him!
EDE
All right. [_He tries to creep up to GUSTAV. The latter observes this,
gives a loud toot and, still tooting, hurries away, dropping a box of
matches as he does so._] Hallo!
LANGHEINRICH
What's that?
EDE
Just what I need.
LANGHEINRICH
What?
EDE
Safetys! A whole box full.
_MRS. SCHULZE comes rushing down the stairs._
MRS. SCHULZE
Mr. Langheinrich!
LANGHEINRICH
Well, what?
MRS. SCHULZE
Mr. Langheinrich!
LANGHEINRICH
Here I is!
MRS.
